eoc ruined the game, lost over 100k+ players. mainly loyal players that been with jagex for this long. bots controle the prices now. 63k players online at the moment. no doubt 20k+ are bots. does that mean anything to you guys? no, it doesnt. even though eoc was the wortst update for this game and destroyed it, there really isnt no coming back from that one. there arent going to be enough members paying for jagex to keep the game running if they get rid of bots. the main reason there hasnt been a bot nuke and such. Eoc ruined runescape.

You cant control everyones money... that is a flaw in itself. That's why being able to be free of some things is good because there will come a time when you need that freedom and when its not, you will see how stupid limiting EVERYONE's money is the most dumbest idea in the book. You cant keep throwing "limiting laws" on everything because it becomes a problem itself. You are in control of your own money so keep that way and stop trying to make it everyones problem.

Logged on for the first time since November since my friend told me about the EoC post.

Nice to see you admitted your mistakes, but its too little too late for the people like me who already quit because of it. Hopefully it keeps the rest of your playerbase from dying. Look at the charts, its clear that your population is steadily declining at a rate unlike anything before.

Speaking for myself as well as a few friends who couldn't be bothered to come on here and read the post (because they have lost all hope without seeing action) we want to be pre eoc.. first of all training is no fun. With the new attack styles.. so many updates to the monsters strengths.. as well as the equiptment it makes playing any form of combat a pain in the ass. The game was going great with no problems besides the bots before eoc.. Thank you for writing the letter on your intentions to improve communications.. but please act on it..

Give us a sign of hope. If you have a team dedicated to reading all of the feedback pleaes read ALL of the useful informative feedback. I have doubts mine will get read on page 152..

The people on page 152 matter just as much if not more in terms of revenue for your company than the people who play more often and so are able to answer right away..

Change the prayer back to the way it was.. with different drain rates. Change the armours and monsters back to pre eoc status. Make the game playable without the combat tab or make playing with option off (like momentum) just as fast / strong as playing with it.. The whole customer base to your game is people who like to afk and see growth over time..

I have excellent ideas of where the game should go such as noticing the huge population increase around the pop activity. People like to see growth over time.. thats why they play runescape. It is just as fun and much more productive playing a game that doesnt take loads of grinding.

That will attract people who are turned off by the fact that they will have to sit behind the keyboard for hours on end in order to see advancement.

You want to be mindful of the players like myself who have worked so hard to achieve what they have earned. so do not alter the current skills.. but add new ones catering to the over time effect like playerowned ports. Worlds should be tiered allowing for different gear in them ect. for stronger

Just bring back old combat and make EoC RS3 - because that would be listening to your community. tbh, it's a completely new game. It doesnt even make combat harder - in one day the new boss that would be "hardest yet" was being duoed without food and killed in level 50 gear...
As a result I'm letting my membs run out now at 2389 total level...

Some ideas -
You didn't mention anything about fixing gambling. Take out the duel arena and flowers from the game - no need for them to be there - especially when (admittedly) the majority of your playerbase is under 18/21 years of age.

If you want to do better than other games you need to differentiate yourself - and especially in this "quick fix gaming" market you can't do that by making yourself exactly the same as other games (LOL, WOW etc) and the simple, yet effective old method of the random damage roller or whatever was almost unique. It too could be worked on - use ideas from the EoC such as monster weaknesses (or making certain monsters more resistant to types of damage), protection prayers reducing damage by a percentage rather than blocking and cheaper rune costs for spells, making new mage/range spec weapons (allowing more new content?) to encourage more diverse use of gear/equipment

Feel so bad for your company on the losses its made so far and will continue to do so due to private servers taking over the entire pvp market. Bring back old pvp - a large proportion (apparently larger than you gave credit for) only played this game to fight other people as repetatively killing a monster/skilling can be seen as a grind - and the EoC combat is simply too easy to pk in - 1 bleed - stun - overpowered threshhold and you win. Having it based on speed, specs and luck made it more interesting and fun. An mmporg without decent PvP is not going to work unless you make PvM harder than simply repeating the same method over and over again on a boss.

Hope I will be heard - gummmy bear

I have been on "strike" the last 3-4 months not renewing p2p because i felt like us players have been left out in the cold by jagex. With the bots, and meaningless updates that shouldnt have never been added to runescape. Takes a lot of balls to finally come out and say you guys screwed up, and you're actually going to make right.

For some reason due to nostalgia when the gowers left i've always kind of had it out for mmg. Didn't like him from the start and its not fair but the way i looked at it the gowers WERE runescape and who was he to come in and all of a sudden be head honcho?

But i think after the years maturing a bit, im 23 and reading that gave me goosebumps because you hit the nail on the head with mistakes. The fact that you were able to do that and ensure this next year to be great.. well you have my respect, and i'll be renewing p2p soon i think ;)

Looking promising again :)

the mmo community laughs at you the private server community laughs at you
my friends laugh at you
your staff probably cry for you
please fix your joke of a game and stop shoving your ******** at us.
you said last year will be the best year but you ****** it so badly .
you have so many bots i wouldn't be surprised if they are the majority.
you include micro transactions
you have no dignity. no self respect you chased away many players.

stop the game or fix it.
